Scripture-Studies-2 A House Set in Order (Part 2): David’s Legacy (2 Sam 23-24) Notes: Week Twelve ** Please note that Scripture Studies (SS) and the Sermon Focus aim to be similar, but the objective of our Scripture Studies is to lead you through the book of 2 Samuel chapter by chapter whereas the Sermon focus deals with various themes found in 2 Samuel. 2 Samuel 23-24 (HCSB) David’s Last Words 23 These are the last words of David: The declaration of David son of Jesse, the declaration of the man raised on high,[a] the one anointed by the God of Jacob, the favorite singer of Israel: 2 The Spirit of the LORD spoke through me, His word was on my tongue. 3 The God of Israel spoke; the Rock of Israel said to me, “The one who rules the people with justice, who rules in the fear of God, 4 is like the morning light when the sun rises on a cloudless morning, the glisten of rain on sprouting grass.” 5 Is it not true my house is with God? For He has established an everlasting covenant with me, ordered and secured in every detail. Will He not bring about my whole salvation and my every desire? 6 But all the wicked are like thorns raked aside; they can never be picked up by hand. 7 The man who touches them must be armed with iron and the shaft of a spear. They will be completely burned up on the spot. Exploits of David’s Warriors 8 These are the names of David’s warriors: Josheb-basshebeth the Tahchemonite was chief of the officers.[b] He wielded his spear[c] against 800 men that he killed at one time. 9 After him, Eleazar son of Dodo son of an Ahohite was among the three warriors with David when they defied the Philistines. The men of Israel retreated in the place they had gathered for battle, 10 but Eleazar stood his ground and attacked the Philistines until his hand was tired and stuck to his sword. The LORD brought about a great victory that day. Then the troops came back to him, but only to plunder the dead. 11 After him was Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines had assembled in formation where there was a field full of lentils. The troops fled from the Philistines, 12 but Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field, defended it, and struck down the Philistines. So the LORD brought about a great victory. 13 Three of the 30 leading warriors went down at harvest time and came to David at the cave of Adullam, while a company of Philistines was camping in the Valley of Rephaim. 14 At that time David was in the stronghold, and a Philistine garrison was at Bethlehem. 15 David was extremely thirsty[d] and said, “If only someone would bring me water to drink from the well at the city gate of Bethlehem!” 16 So three of the warriors broke through the Philistine camp and drew water from the well at the gate of Bethlehem. They brought it back to David, but he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out to 17 the LORD. David said, “LORD, I would never do such a thing! Is this not the blood of men who risked their lives?” So he refused to drink it. Such were the exploits of the three warriors. 18 Abishai, Joab’s brother and son of Zeruiah, was leader of the Three.[e] He raised his spear against 300 men and killed them, gaining a reputation among the Three. 19 Was he not more honored than the Three? He became their commander even though he did not become one of the Three. 20 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was the son of a brave man from Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. Benaiah killed two sons[f] of Ariel[g] of Moab, and he went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion. 21 He also killed an Egyptian, a huge man. Even though the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, Benaiah went down to him with a club, snatched the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and then killed him with his own spear. 22 These were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who had a reputation among the three warriors. 23 He was the most honored of the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. David put him in charge of his bodyguard. 24 Among the Thirty were: Joab’s brother Asahel, Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem, 25 Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite, 26 Helez the Paltite, Ira son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, 27 Abiezer the Anathothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite, 28 Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite, 29 Heleb son of Baanah the Netophahite, Ittai son of Ribai from Gibeah of the Benjaminites, 30 Benaiah the Pirathonite, Hiddai from the wadis of Gaash,[h] 31 Abi-albon the Arbathite, Azmaveth the Barhumite, 32 Eliahba the Shaalbonite, the sons of Jashen, Jonathan son of[i] 33 Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam son of Sharar the Hararite, 34 Eliphelet son of Ahasbai son of the Maacathite, Eliam son of Ahithophel the Gilonite, 35 Hezro the Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite, 36 Igal son of Nathan from Zobah, Bani the Gadite, 37 Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Beerothite, the armor-bearer for Joab son of Zeruiah, 38 Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite, 39 and Uriah the Hittite. There were 37 in all. David’s Military Census 24 The LORD’s anger burned against Israel again, and He stirred up David against them to say: “Go, count the people of Israel and Judah.” 2 So the king said to Joab, the commander of his army, “Go through all the tribes of Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba and register the troops so I can know their number.” 3 Joab replied to the king, “May the LORD your God multiply the troops 100 times more than they are— while my lord the king looks on! But why does my lord the king want to do this?” 4 Yet the king’s order prevailed over Joab and the commanders of the army. So Joab and the commanders of the army left the king’s presence to register the troops of Israel. 5 They crossed the Jordan and camped in Aroer, south of the town in the middle of the valley, and then proceeded toward Gad and Jazer. 6 They went to Gilead and to the land of the Hittites[j] and continued on to Dan-jaan and around to Sidon. 7 They went to the fortress of Tyre and all the cities of the Hivites and Canaanites. Afterward, they went to the Negev of Judah at Beer-sheba. 8 When they had gone through the whole land, they returned to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and 20 days. 9 Joab gave the king the total of the registration of the troops. There were 800,000 fighting men from Israel and 500,000 men from Judah. 10 David’s conscience troubled him after he had taken a census of the troops. He said to the LORD, “I have sinned greatly in what I’ve done. Now, LORD, because I’ve been very foolish, please take away Your servant’s guilt.” David’s Punishment 11 When David got up in the morning, a revelation from the LORD had come to the prophet Gad, David’s 12 seer: “Go and say to David, ‘This is what the LORD says: I am offering you three choices. Choose one of them, and I will do it to you.’” 13 So Gad went to David, told him the choices, and asked him, “Do you want three[k] years of famine to come on your land, to flee from your foes three months while they pursue you, or to have a plague in your land three days? Now, think it over and decide what answer I should take back to the One who sent me.” 14 David answered Gad, “I have great anxiety. Please, let us fall into the LORD’s hands because His mercies are great, but don’t let me fall into human hands.” 15 So the LORD sent a plague on Israel from that morning until the appointed time, and from Dan to Beer- sheba 70,000 men died. 16 Then the angel extended his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, but the LORD relented concerning the destruction and said to the angel who was destroying the people, “Enough, withdraw your hand now!” The angel of the LORD was then at the threshing floor of Araunah[l] the Jebusite. 17 When David saw the angel striking the people, he said to the LORD, “Look, I am the one who has sinned; I am the one[m] who has done wrong. But these sheep, what have they done? Please, let Your hand be against me and my father’s family.” David’s Altar 18 Gad came to David that day and said to him, “Go up and set up an altar to the LORD on the threshing 19 floor of Araunah the Jebusite.” David went up in obedience to Gad’s command, just as the LORD had commanded. 20 Araunah looked down and saw the king and his servants coming toward him, so he went out and bowed to the king with his face to the ground. 21 Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” David replied, “To buy the threshing floor from you in order to build an altar to the LORD, so the plague on the people may be halted.” 22 Araunah said to David, “My lord the king may take whatever he wants[n] and offer it.

  • The Second Book of Samuel
    A PATRISTIC COMMENTARY THE SECOND BOOK OF SAMUEL FR. TADROS Y. MALATY 2004 Initial edition Translated by: DR. GEORGE BOTROS Revised by SAMEH SHAFIK Coptic Orthodox Christian Center 491 N. Hewes St. Orange, California 92869-2914 INTRODUCTION As this book in the Hebrew origin, is a complementary to the first book of Samuel, we urge the reader to refer back to the introduction of that book. According to the Jewish tradition, the authors of this book were the prophets Nathan and Gad, beside some of those who were raised in the school of the prophets, founded by the prophet Samuel. In the Septuagint version, it is called “The second Kingdoms book.” WHEN WAS IT WRITTEN? It was written after the division of the kingdom, and before the captivity. It embraces a complete record of the reign of King David (2 Samuel 5: 5); and mentions the kings of ‘Judah,’ as distinct from those of ‘Israel’ (1 Samuel 27: 6). ITS FEATURES 1- Its topic was a survey of King David’s life, following his strife with king Saul, who was killed by the enemies at the end of the previous book; a narration of king David’s ascension to the throne, his wars, and the moving up of the Tabernacle of God to Jerusalem. It also gave a record of David’s fall in certain sins, with all the incessant troubles and grieves they entailed. In other words, this book represents the history of the people during the 40 years of king David’s reign. Its study is considered to be of special importance to everyone intending to comprehend David’s psalms.

  • The Second Book of Samuel
    The Second Book Of Samuel The Argument This book and the former bear the title of Samuel, because they contain the conception nativity and the whole course of his life, and also the lives and acts of two Kings, to wit, of Saul and David, whom he anointed and consecrated Kings by the ordinance of God. And as the first book containeth those things, which God brought to pass among this people under the government of Samuel and Saul so this second book declareth the noble acts of David, after the death of Saul, when he began to reign, unto the end of his kingdom: and hew the same by him was wonderfully augmented: also his great troubles and dangers, which he sustained both within his house and without what horrible and dangerous insurrections, uproars, and treasons were brought against him, partly by false counselors, feigned friends and flatterers and partly by some of his own children and people: and how by God’s assistance he overcame all difficulties, and enjoyed his kingdoms in rest and peace. In the person of David the Scripture setteth forth Christ Jesus the chief King who came of David according to the flesh, and was persecuted on every side with outward and inward enemies as well in his own person, as in his members, but at length he overcometh all his enemies, and giveth his Church victory against all power both spiritual and temporal: and so reigneth with them, King for evermore. 2 Samuel 1 ............................................................................................................................. 3 2 Samuel 2 ............................................................................................................................. 5 2 Samuel 3 ............................................................................................................................. 8 2 Samuel 4 ..........................................................................................................................

  • 1 | Page 2 Samuel 23:1-7 Introduction I'm Always Struck by Paul's Words in 2 Timothy
    2 Samuel 23:1-7 Introduction I’m always struck by Paul’s words in 2 Timothy 4:7: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; 8 in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.” 1. As we near the end of our study of 2 Samuel, we come to a passage that states, “Now these are the last words of David.” a. There are two ways this is generally interpreted: 1) One is that these are the very last words David uttered before he died—your study Bible may suggest otherwise because 1 Kings 2 records David’s conversation with Solomon before he dies, but that’s a weak argument because suggests these words couldn’t have come after that conversation 2) The other interpretation is that these words are the last prophetic utterance David made—in other words, the last thing he said or wrote under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit 3) There is no reason not to assume both are true, though the timing of when David wrote it is not critical b. The passage can be broken down into two parts: 1) Introduction (1): a) The first sentence is clearly the words of the author of 2 Samuel b) The rest of verse 1, the second sentence, also likely belong to the author of 2 Samuel and serves as a declaration about David 2) The Psalm itself which has three parts (2-7): a) David REVEALS that the Lord spoke to him (2) b) David REPEATS the words of the Lord (3-4) c) David RELATES how the Lord’s words apply to him (5-6) c.

As you recall, Saul and his sons are dead. David just won a war against the Amalekites for their raid on Ziklag and have returned home. David doesn’t know what has happened. This is where we start the continuation of our Journey Through the Bible. Who comes to David and what news does he bring (vss. 1-10)? How does the story of the Amalekites agree and differ from the end of 1 Samuel? What was the response of David and his men to the news (vss. 11-12)? Once the mourning was completed, what happened next (vss. 13-16)? Why was it important for David to do this? David then does what David does best, he wrote a song, a funeral song for Saul and Jonathan. Read his song in verses 17-27. What strikes you about this song? Consider David is singing the praises of God’s first anointed king and his dear beloved friend Jonathan.

  • Through the Bible Study 2 Samuel 21-24
    THROUGH THE BIBLE STUDY 2 SAMUEL 21-24 Chronologically, 2 Samuel ends with chapter 20. David’s rebellious boy, Absalom, is dead. His coup de’tat thwarted. David is back on the throne. There’s more to come in the story of David… his succession and death. But that’s the subject matter for 1 Kings. The last four chapters of 2 Samuel form an appendix to the book that provides a few flashbacks to fill in the record… 2 Samuel 21, “Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, "It is because of Saul and his bloodthirsty house, because he killed the Gibeonites." David recognizes that sometimes – not all times, but sometimes – physical calamity does have a spiritual cause. David senses this is the case, so he asks God about the famine. He’s told it’s the result of Saul’s injustice to the Gibeonites. Here’s what had happened… When Joshua led Israel into Canaan he made a covenant with the Gibeonites. Saul ignored Joshua’s covenant and tried to wipe them out. God takes promises seriously - and because Saul didn’t - Israel was suffering a 3 year famine. David’s duty was to rectify Saul’s greedy mistake. Here are four lessons to be learned from this story… First, God takes promises seriously. He expects us to keep our promises. !1 Second, God isn’t just serious about individual promises. He cares about promises made by nations. Third, time does not diminish a person’s obligation to keep his or her promise.

  • 2 Samuel & 1 Chronicles with Associated Psalms
    2 Samuel& 1 Chronicles w/Associated Psalms Chronicles Purpose : To direct the restoration of the kingdom during the post-exilic period. Outline : 1.1:1-1.9:44 – Genealogies of God’s People (From Adam to David to Zerubbabel) 1.10:1-2.9:31 – United Kingdom (Saul, David, Solomon) 2.10:1-2:28:26 – Divided Kingdom (Fall of Samaria and Jerusalem) 2.29:1-2.36:23 – Reunited Kingdom (Cyrus’ Edict) Author : Some suggest there was a single “chronicler” for Chronicles and for Ezra-Nehemiah (perhaps Ezra himself). There are definite similarities, but also distinctions. Date : United Monarchy – 1050…Divided Monarchy – 922…Fall of Samaria – 722…Fall of Jerusalem – 586…Cyrus Edict – 538…Date of Composition, maybe 500-400 BC Chronicles Highlights : The title of this book in the Hebrew Bible is “The Words (or Events) of the Days”. The title of this book in the Septuagint (Greek translation of the Old Testament, written in 70 AD) is “The Things Omitted” (things passed over by Samuel and Kings). The English title of “Chronicles” is a shortened form of Jerome’s suggestion in calling it “A Chronicle of the whole divine history.” Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles are the “Synoptic History” meaning that they share the same, or similar, accounts for some of this history. Just as Matthew, Mark, and Luke are the “Synoptic Gospels” in sharing the same, or similar, accounts of Jesus. Synoptic means “seeing (optic) together (syn)” and provides a summary, or synopsis. There are times when the wording is exactly the same as the Chronicler simply copied from Samuel, or Kings.
